About

Alba Jano is a researcher at the forefront of haptic communication and 5G-enabled robotics, with a focus on enabling real-time, tactile feedback over next-generation networks. Her work bridges the gap between wireless communication and human-robot interaction, particularly in latency-sensitive applications. Jano’s most-cited paper, "Demo: Remote Robot Control with Haptic Feedback over the Munich 5G Research Hub Testbed" (2023), demonstrates a pioneering system that allows operators to remotely control robots with realistic touch feedback, leveraging the low-latency capabilities of 5G infrastructure. This contribution is critical for advancing teleoperation in hazardous environments, remote surgery, and industrial automation. Though early in her career, her work has already garnered attention within the 5G and robotics communities, with 3 citations to date. Jano’s research is notable for its practical, testbed-based approach, providing proof-of-concept for haptic feedback in real-world 5G networks. As a researcher affiliated with the Munich 5G Research Hub, she is helping shape the future of tactile internet, where touch and motion data are transmitted with imperceptible delay—a key enabler for next-generation remote operations.
